I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2022
Interview
The first step is a call from a recruiter to discuss your background and to know more about the opportunity and the team. This is friendly and as a result, a screening process is done based on this call by the recruiting team. Then there's the coding interview which the candidate schedules (I was able to schedule it in 4 weeks). But you will be able to do a mock interview which is similar to the actual to get a sense of what to expect. In both, they give medium to moderately hard problems. You have 45 mins to complete two problems. The interviewers are all super nice to me and I enjoyed the whole process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the actual interview; the first question is the closest common parents of two nodes in a binary tree given the parent node as a pointer in the node itself. And the second was the known file system path parsing problem. Both of these are leetcode
I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in May 2026
Interview
April 26 Recruiter reached out with the assessment which includes a repository coding questions in which you need to pass 4 different tests and other is General Work style assessment.
May 6 recruiter reached out to schedule 4 loop interviews
May 13 First interview was AI ML System design Performed well in this one but was a little short in time
Second and third was AI enabled coding interview in which the interviewer mentioned that use of AI won't penalize the results so I used it explained my thinking, wrote a nice prompt to AI which corrected all the code and passed all test cases in both round and this is where it went wrong I think I need to also write some code by myself but if they have given AI model and asking to use it then what is the requirement of taking a coding round rather than this they should take a DSA coding round to check the coding skills.
Fourth round was general behavioral questions which went well as well

Question 1
They asked a game question in one coding round and in the other one they asked a graph based repository question
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Dec 2025
Interview
First interview: recruiter call - general questions about CV and scope of work
Second interview: technical screen - 20 min general interview questions, 40 min coding interview with medium leetcode questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you tell me about a time where you had to handle conflict?
Leetcode medium coding questions
1 recruiter screening
1 coding interview (leetcode medium)
4 interviews in one day (2 coding - leetcode medium, 1 behavioral, 1 system design)
Whole process took 1 month, leetcode questions available under meta tag, for system design study recommended systems in depth
